Answer:
Sales Revenue       212,000
Variable Cost        (63,000)
Rent Expense        (43,000)
Depreciation Expense (23,000)
Income before taxes   83,000
Income tax expense   (16,600) Â
Net Income           84,800
Cash from operating activities 107,800
tax-shield from depreciation 4,600
Explanation:
Cash flow from operations (indirect method)
net income 84,800 + depreciation expense = 107,800
The depreciation provides a tax shield as they are an accounting concept. The depreciation expense did not involve the outflow of cash but, it is a taxable deduction therefore generates a tax-shield.
23,000 x 20% = 4,600
